Earlier this month, we got the chance to see our planet from farther away than any humans ever have—a powerful reminder of what science and human ingenuity can achieve.

On Earth Day, that perspective feels especially relevant. The way we design, build, and operate our environments directly impacts the health of people and ecosystems, the well-being of our communities, and the future of the planet we all share.

At FitzGerald, sustainability is embedded in how we approach every project rather than treated as a separate initiative. We focus on integrating high-performing, responsible building strategies into every project, meeting real-world constraints while still raising the bar.

Real progress is built through consistent, intentional decisions—project by project, detail by detail.

We’re committed to doing our part, continuing to push for smarter, more sustainable outcomes wherever we can.

Happy Earth Day.

FitzGerald is excited to welcome Olivia Grote, Junior Associate, and Alexander Cardenas, Associate, to our team.

Olivia joins FitzGerald as a Junior Associate supporting interior architecture and design work across project teams. A recent graduate of Columbia College Chicago’s Interior Architecture program, she contributes through visualization work, drawing production, and material coordination. Olivia was also selected for Metropolis magazine’s Future100, recognizing top graduating interior design students in the country.

Alexander joins the firm as an Associate with experience in multifamily and mixed-use developments. His background includes supporting large residential projects through coordination and documentation across multiple phases of design and construction.

We’re glad to have Olivia and Alexander on board and look forward to the perspective and energy they bring to our teams.

Welcome, Olivia and Alexander!

Today, we recognize Keith Lee, Managing Associate, in celebration of his 10-year Fitz-versary.

Keith is widely respected for the clarity and insight he brings to the design process. With exceptional analytical skill and design talent, he plays a key role in developing early feasibility studies and conceptual strategies that help clients and project teams shape projects from the earliest stages.

His work spans a wide range of project types—from large-scale urban mixed-use developments to affordable senior living—and his ability to translate complex ideas into compelling design narratives has made him an invaluable resource for both clients and colleagues. Keith’s thoughtful design critiques, steady leadership, and collaborative approach consistently strengthen the work of every team he joins.

A member of FitzGerald’s Design Lab, Keith also coordinates weekly open-forum Design Review conversations that bring designers together to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and elevate the firm’s collective design thinking. As a Managing Associate, he is equally committed to mentoring younger designers and guiding them through the complexities of the design process.

Thank you, Keith, for ten great years!

In recognition of International Women’s Day and Women in Construction Week, we celebrate the women whose expertise, leadership, and creativity help shape the architecture, development, and construction industries.

At FitzGerald, we’re proud to see the continued impact of women across our firm—from emerging designers to experienced leaders—and throughout our growing team. Their perspectives strengthen our work, our culture, and the communities our projects serve.

Thank you for the hard work, dedication, and creativity you bring to the table every day.

The most successful multifamily interiors are inseparable from the buildings they inhabit. Layouts, finishes, amenities, and circulation must be designed in concert with structure, systems, and budget—especially for market-rate and high-end residential projects.

This week, we’re highlighting FitzGerald’s work in high-end, market-driven multifamily interiors, where design quality and ex*****on directly shape leasing, perception, and long-term value. Our interiors team works hand in hand with our architects to deliver residential environments that are efficient, refined, and grounded in how buildings are actually built and operated. Across new construction and strategic renovations—and across a full range of housing types—we bring an integrated design approach that strengthens projects from the inside out.

Adaptive reuse offers a powerful way to extend the life of existing buildings while meeting today’s programmatic, technical, and market demands. These projects involve layered challenges—outdated systems, structural constraints, and regulatory requirements—but also the opportunity to create spaces with lasting identity and purpose.

FitzGerald brings decades of experience guiding adaptive reuse projects where performance and preservation go hand in hand. From landmarked structures to large-scale repositioning efforts, we combine design excellence with technical rigor to help clients transform aging assets into durable, market-ready places that contribute to their communities.

You may know FitzGerald for larger-scale multifamily and mixed-use work, but neighborhood-scale multifamily has long been part of our practice. Low-rise, townhome, and walkable infill developments are often the projects moving forward today, and they demand the same level of strategic rigor and design intelligence as larger buildings.

FitzGerald partners early with developers to help these projects advance smoothly, combining fluency in zoning and entitlements with the ability to design competitive, marketable housing that truly belongs in its context. From urban infill to transit-oriented suburbs, our dual advantage helps clients move faster through approvals, reduce friction, and deliver housing that performs in the market.

FitzGerald is excited to welcome Sadie Beck, Junior Associate, and Warren LeMay, Associate, to our team.

Sadie joins the firm as a Junior Associate supporting project teams across a range of interior design scopes, including multifamily new construction and renovations, as well as workplace and retail projects. With a background in interior design, she contributes through material and finish selection, FF&E coordination, and drawing production, supporting projects as they move from design development through construction.

Warren joins FitzGerald with experience across multifamily housing, mixed-use projects, and workplace environments, with a particular strength in renovation, adaptive reuse, and historic preservation. He will support several of the firm’s multifamily renovation projects as well as a workplace build-out, bringing a steady, detail-driven approach to working within existing buildings.

We’re glad to have Sadie and Warren on board and look forward to the perspective, curiosity, and energy they bring to our project teams.

Welcome, Sadie and Warren!

To all who served, we are thankful for your service. Happy Veterans Day.

In particular, we want to recognize FitzGerald’s own Associate and BIM Manager, CPL Luis Salgado, USMC, and mark the 250th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps, celebrated yesterday.

Earlier this month, our team joined Callan Consulting Engineers, Inc. and on-site on site for Habitat for Humanity Chicago ’s 13th Annual Women Build.

Together with dozens of volunteers, we helped advance construction on Habitat Chicago’s project in the Austin neighborhood, installing sheathing that brings these future homes one step closer to completion.

Women Build unites women across Chicago—both as fundraisers and builders—to create affordable, permanent homes for women-led families and to help break down the barriers that make homeownership disproportionately harder for women, especially women of color.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our efforts so far! There’s still a short window to help us reach our team's fundraising goal—your donation today will directly support Habitat for Humanity Chicago’s mission and help cover our team’s build-day expenses. Habitat Chicago has an ambitious goal of $800,000 this year, which is nearly 90% fulfilled. Please join us in contributing, if you can!
